Thanks lijok. CR7EIX is a hotter plug than the CR8EIX. Will try to figure out how the heat ranges of the plugs compare with the stock one. If you redline the bike often and use a hotter plug then recommended then you can damage the engine.Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

Can you elaborate on the last part in bold... asking coz I do redline quite often...Originally posted by rags View PostComment

The heat range of a spark plug is the range in which the plug works well thermally. The heat rating of each NGK spark plug is indicated by a number; lower numbers indicate a hotter type, higher numbers indicate a colder type.

The same page also says what happens if the heat range is too cold. There's a lot more interesting/important information in the FAQ pages too.Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

Continuing on my previous post about spark plugs ... a little known fact (atleast to me) about spark plugs is that in addition to providing a spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture it also aids in transfer of head from the cylinder to the cylinder head which is then dissipated (in air cooled engines) or transferred to water (in liquid cooled engines) helping in cooling the engine. So if you rev your engine hard go for a colder plug in the recommended heat range.
I normally prefer to go with the spark plug recommended by the manufacturer or an exact equivalent by another company. The Bosch UR5DDC recommended by TVS has a 10mm dia thread with suppression resistor, heat range "5", 19 mm thread reach and twin copper electrodes. Now my problem/issue is to find the heat range value of NGK plugs which corresponds to "5" in Bosch. Anybody has any ideas?Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

Actually it comes as a set of wire and a coil and combinely they gives boost to the current which goes to the plug.Originally posted by lijok View Post
Na buddy, that turn was different, actually i'm very carefull while taking the leans and i always do it on the roads which are known to me, i think as i was in third gear may be i backed the throttle a bit and the engine did the "engine braking" that had a direct effect on the rear tyre and may be it locked for a fraction of the second that caused the suspension to compress and the moment i gased it back it decompressed and that effect happened.Originally posted by rags View Post
Blipping the throttle at the same gear, actually at 8000-10000 RPM the bike is at the peak so to stay in the peak i blip the throttle to keep it in the region of 8000-9000 so it stays at the peak, and i still have about 1000 RPM to pull it a little after getting out of lean for the next gear.The Magician"

OKOriginally posted by rennycornelius View Post
That's quite likely, in third there would be a good amount of engine braking but unless you completely shut off the throttle I don't know if the rear would lock up. I didn't understand how a wheel lock would load the rear shocks and compress them.Originally posted by rennycornelius View Post
Why would you blip the throttle to maintain the engine at that rpm range? Blipping would cause the bike to jerk when you open and close the throttle a bit upsetting the bike mid-corner and you wouldn't want that. Why not just roll it to reach that range?Originally posted by rennycornelius View PostMost motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

Faced a weird problem today. Bike wouldnt start with the electric start at times. After switching the red killswitch off and on again, its then that the bike started with the electric starter. And sometimes even had to fiddle with the killswitch more than once to get the bike started with the electric starter. Any idea why this is happening? And even the time display got changed automatically.You can only ride better tomorrow if you ride safe today.Comment

Time to get your wiring checked.The Magician"

Thats the ignition switch of the the bike which is culprit. The display went off and then self check started again and the clock time went default. This problem is known to service people and it cost less then Rs50 to get it fine.Never upgrade without getting your basics RIGHT.Comment

Knocking when at speeds upto 50-55kmph.also in 1st and 2nd gear too.and the Problem is more pronounced in the town traffic.If I shift down and apply throttle ,there is this "missing" thing more.Originally posted by chicane1879 View Post
At 80kmph ,if I twist the throttle a little more ,knocking sound is heard.
I gave back the bike today for thorough inspection.carbs/jets and air filter cleaned.yeah tappet and spark plug condition needs to be checked.
Clutch Slipping also has to be checked.
Thanks for that - CDI kit thing.I will ask them.Comment
